1 Overview

The ADC08xx0EVM is an evaluation module (EVM) designed to evaluate the ADC08xx0. The EVM provides simple and minimal external components to minimize system cost and power consumption.

The following features apply to this EVM:

• 8-bit, low-cost, high-speed, CMOS interface ADC08xx0

• External clock for sample clocking with an option to add an onboard crystal oscillator

• Option to provide separate clocks to ADC and FPGA

• TPS7A47 user-programmable RF low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator

• CDCV304 high-performance, low-skew, PCI_X-compliant clock buffer

• SN74AVC16244 Dynamic Output Control, low-noise 16-bit output buffer

The ADC08xx0EVM is designed to work seamlessly with the TSW1400EVM, TI’s CMOS and LVDS pattern generator and data-capture board, through the High-Speed Data Converter Pro Graphical User Interface (HSDC Pro GUI) software tool for high-speed data converter evaluation.

1.1 Required Hardware

The following equipment is included in the EVM evaluation kit:

• ADC08xx0EVM

• Standard banana jack power supply cables

The following list of equipment are items that are not included in the EVM evaluation kit but are items required for evaluation of this product in order to achieve the best performance:

• TSW1400EVM Data Capture Board, 5-V DC cable connector, and mini-USB cable

• Computer running Microsoft® Windows® 8, Windows 7, or Windows XP
